Insights

The great European energy transition continued in 2017 and, across the continent as a whole, shows little sign of slowing up in 2018. Ever lower levels of subsidy and guaranteed power prices awarded after fiercely competitive tenders have not deterred developers or financiers, who still see opportunities even in the more mature renewables markets.

The renewable energy market never stands still. Technical advances and the increased prevalence of competitive tendering mechanisms are driving down costs globally. Changes in political and economic conditions can transform the climate for renewable projects in a country overnight – and not always for the better.

Europe has seen a surge in renewables over the last decade, and the sector continues to grow. The priorities for the renewable energy expansion driven by the EU energy policy framework are setting corresponding national targets for the EU member states and are impacting neighboring countries in Europe and Central Asia.
